Property Crimes

Damage Was Done — But That Doesn’t Make You a Criminal.

You’re accused of breaking in. Damaging Property. Stealing. Starting a fire.

But no one is looking at the issues - who identified you?  Is that even you on the security footage?  Does your accuser even have the right to say you weren’t allowed?  Can they even properly identify you at all?

Property crimes often hinge on the small details that cops and prosecutors almost never see.

That’s where I come in - let’s untangle the knot and clear your name.

What You’re Really Facing

Prosecutors take these charges seriously — and often overcharge aggressively.

You may be looking at:

  • 5 to 25+ Years in Prison

  • Massive Restitution Demands

  • Permanent Felony Record

  • Enhanced Charges If Others Were Present or Hurt

  • Bail Denial Due to “Public Safety” Risk

But here’s the truth: These cases often rely on shaky video, unverified witness accounts, and wild prosecutorial assumptions.

Don’t let them scare you - we can fight this together.

Common Misconceptions of Property Crimes

Property crimes are often overcharged and badly understood:

They charged you with burglary — but they can’t prove you had criminal intent.

They charged you with arson — but they can’t prove the fire was intentional.

You’re charged with trespass — but you had permission to be there.

Intent is everything. And that’s where your defense begins.

I Handle It All

Arson

Burglary (residential or commercial)

Criminal mischief and vandalism

Destruction of property during protests or altercations

Damage involving cars, storefronts, public property, or private homes

Property-related charges tied to domestic or personal disputes

Here’s What Prosecutors Get Wrong:

Burglary isn’t just “entering a building.” You must have separate criminal intent — which is very hard to prove.

Camera footage is rarely definite - grainy, distant footage makes anyone look like anyone else, especially in New York City.  It is almost never as strong as they say it is.

Arson requires proving intent both to start a fire and to destroy property with that fire - they have to prove both!

And I know exactly how to fight enhancements and elevate your defense — especially when co-defendants or circumstantial evidence are involved.

Every Charge Has a Defense. Let’s Find Yours.

Whether you’re facing a misdemeanor or a felony, state or federal charges — you don’t have time to wait.

Every moment you hesitate is one more advantage for the prosecution.

I’m here to level the field — and turn the pressure back on them.
